Maybe this is a Windows problem? Check to see if you are configured with the correct keyboard by going to the “Window Control Panel” and selecting “Region and "Language” then click on the tab labelled “Keyboards and Languages”.

Unfortunately, this is a single IM2 problem, as my keyboard works fine with all other programmes, e.g. printing the typically German letters like ä, ö, ü or ß, as you can see now. For instance, there is no problem with Mozilla Thunderbird or Outlook Express.

The problem started a couple of days ago, when I installed the latest IM2 update.

(PS: One word, cdenice, use another English-German-translation programme, as the German sentence doesn't make a lot of sense - even though it sounds quite funny.)
